As the FirnCover 2015 project comes to a close, our climate scientists successfully completed the largest network of firn compaction instruments ever deployed, monitoring continuously on the ice sheet. \u00a0The Firn<\/a>Cover network now consists of 41 separate instruments installed at 8 stations across Greenland!<\/p>\n

We look forward to hearing from the researchers about the data they’ll be collecting over the next few years. Stay tuned!<\/p>\n
